Truth, Justice, and the American Way

I recently redesigned the website for the academic journal Reason Papers to help Stephan Kinsella’s project of putting up 30 years (25 online issues) online in PDF format. Reason Papers is a mix of essays on economics, politics, ethics and philosophy. Check it out!

I have a new CafePress shop dedicated to PETA: http://www.cafepress.com/animalsarefood

After 1&1 permanently nixed my online art gallery without any means of restoring it, I finally re-created it by re-uploading the originals, because my backup is hopelessly out of date. The new gallery needs a lot of work to restore the lost grandeur, so I am looking for volunteers to help me add the [...]

If you want blog icons like the ones you see on the left of this page, I have a collection of 100+ here.

I have updated my gallery, and added an RSS feed so you can keep up with future updates automatically.

I recently updated to FireFox .9, the latest and greatest web browser from Mozilla.org

I then installed Bookmarks Synchronizer, a Firefox extension that allows me to synchronize my bookmarks by uploading an XML file to my website every time they are updated.

I wanted to provide a nicely formatted page on my websites, so I found an [...]

I decided to clean up my bookmarks a few days ago, after accumulating nearly 2000 links over seven years of web surfing. The growth of my bookmark list has dropped drastically lately, because Google makes finding sites so easy that I rarely bother to save them anymore. Anyway, I trimmed the bookmarks to [...]

I have decided to rename my blog to "Truth, Justice, and the American way." Why? To borrow from a certain novelist, it has to be said: the world is perishing from an orgy of irrationality, injustice, and Anti-Americanism.
While the title was inspired by Superman’s character, the change was motivated by the media treatment [...]

View more designs. Let
me know if you would like a particular item/design combination. If you
have your own design you’d like to see on a shirt, let me know!

I have updated the Movable Type install for this blog to 3.0. Let me know if everything is working ok. I’ll set it up to require TypeKey registration once the final version is released and I have the kinks in the templates worked out. I am still offering free blogging from my [...]

As you may have noticed, I have added Google Ads to my blog. I earn a few cents for each click, so please consider sponsoring my site (Note: the ads seem to be showing only intermittently due to low click-through rates. Feel free to remedy this!)

I am offering free blogs/email at rationalmind.net, objectivismonline.net, or heroicdesigns.com. If you want one, contact me with a subdomain, username, and password.

Ive decided to replace my server-side Java chat with a PHP/Java applet interface to connect to the #AynRand IRC channel. Actually, it will allow you connect to any IRC server you want.

New at my gallery: photos from this week’s trip to San Antonio and some photos from my ski trip that I finally got on PhotoCD.

I will be on vacation all week. I won’t be getting my usual email, but you can reach me at [email protected]

Do you want to take a leading
role in Americas intellectual renaissance? Are you interesting in
participating in an active Objectivist community on the web? Would you
like to exchange ideas in a forum that does not tolerate irrationality?
To provide all this and more, ObjectivismOnline.net has been created to
bring together the vast resources on Objectivism that are scattered [...]

Due my recent hosting problems, I’ve discovered that my david (at) rationalmind.net address has lost a ton of email. If you’ve sent me anything during the last week(s) and I didn’t reply, please send it again, and CC it to capt_david (at) hotmail.com just in case. Hopefully, things should be back to normal [...]

Here’s the scoop:
The good news is that my website surpassed 5 GB of
traffic 2/3 into the
month.  According to my webhost, this should be enough for a “high
5-digit” number of visitors.  According to my own calculations, if
each visit consumes 50K of bandwith, I should be good for approximately
100,000 hits/month.  So, passing 5GB halfway into the month [...]

Not funny. I am also one of the top results for the Paris Hilton video, photos of women’s privates, and Arabic peep shows. I have never mentioned any of these topics on my blog (before now that is), but after various unsavory characters spammed my referrer list, search engines associated my websites [...]

Im currently trying to choose a template for ObjectivismOnline, and I would like your help in picking one from among the finalists. Please go to here and select one of the templates from the Template Chooser on the bottom of the left side. Ive listed my favorite ones in the poll below. [...]
